Celebrating

Today my best friend and love of my life are celebrating 38 years of marriage. There isn't a day that I haven't thanked God for bring Jim into my life. He has been there for me thorough sickness and death of my mother and Grandparents. He was there for all the good times and all the bad and I love him more today than the day we said I do. I hope that my kids all have the same experience with their love ones. We are in Tennessee at a Ministerial conference with Dave and Cheryl and having a wonderful time.
Hope you are having a great day for I am.

My Try AT What I Learned From Michelle

This card is one of the cards that I have created using a brayer and the technique that I learned from Michelle. I really love the look that you can get from this technique. This reminds me of a California sunset, we lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 18 yrs and loved every minute of it.

This card is on Stampin Up card stock. The flourish stamps are Martha Stewart, the Palm tree is from Innovative Stamp Creations. the elements and inks are from Stampin up.


This card is using the same technique, this one reminds me of the area where my mothers family lived in Idaho not far from Sun Valley Lodge. In fact my grandfather and his oldest kids (which is my mother and his son) fell and got the logs out of this area for the Lodge at Sun Valley. They cut the trees with what is called a two man saw and dragged them out with horses. They also got a lot of the logs out for Ernest Hemingway's home in Sun Valley. My grandparents, my mother and her brother have passed but we have a strong heritage.

This card is on Stampin Up cardstock, used there inks and brads. The stamps are from Innovative Stamp Creation. Ribbon is from Big Lots and peeloffs from the UK. I really enjoyed making these cards. I have a long way to go before I am any where near as good as Michelle but it sure is fun practicing. I am taking her advanced class the end of August. I can hardly wait.

I hope everyone is having a great day

Love Ya!!!!!



My mothers family is having a family reunion and Memorial for my Uncle in Twin Falls, Idaho today and tomorrow. I sure wish I could have gone but wasn't able to. My grandparents had a farm with cows and horses when I was a little girl, Then my Uncle took it over when my grandparents move into town. I have great memories of the farm including milking some of the cows by hand. LOL !!!! So when I got this cute 3d image from my 3d group and I had to use it. I'm really not into cows but this graphic is so cute, I had to do it up. I hope you all enjoy looking at it as I did in making it.
The base of the card is from Stamping Up. The DP if from Hobby Lobby one of there scrap packs. The boarder is textured cardstock from DCWV, punched with a Fiskers punch. I got the ribbon from Big Lots in a clearance bin. The rhinestones are from Joann Fabrics. The sentiment is handwritten and punched out with an oval punch from Marvy. The inside is done with the DP and black boarder on Whisper white card stock

Have a great day!!!!

Southern Charm

I love this 3d image it reminds me of the Southern belles. I should have been born in the Victorian age but so glad that I wasn't. I love the look but am glad that I don't have to ware it.

The base card is from DCWV and the image is from my 3d group. The black card stock is from Stampin Up . The flowers and Rhinestones are from Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. The border punch is from Fiskers. The leaves are from the same Fiskers punch. The Peeloffs are from the UK. Have a hint of Dazzling Diamonds on the earrings and on the flower. Wish you could see the layers on this card but all I have right now is my scanner so you can't get anything but flat images.
Had a great time doing this card. Hope everyone is having a great day
